The Thresholds of Transition
In this message, Pastor Amy Carter walks us through a message about navigating the in-between seasons of life—those hallway moments where old doors have closed and new ones aren’t open yet. Through Jacob’s wrestle with God and real-life stories, you’ll be encouraged to surrender control, lean into God’s timing, and recognize how He uses discomfort to reshape your identity and prepare you for what’s next. This is a hope-filled word for anyone feeling stuck, suspended, or quietly wondering, “Is there more?”

Childlike, Not Childish
We’re called to grow up in Christ without losing the wonder, trust, and humility of a child. In this message, Pastor Pascale Williams invites you to rediscover the joy of simple faith—a faith that trusts God’s heart, stays teachable, and lives in awe of His goodness.
